Some people like big sprawling dungeons, and some people hate them. There are good reasons why we don’t see things like Karazhan or Blackrock Depths any more. I’ve been on enough runs where we spent more time trying to navigate the map than fighting mobs to be okay with the shift towards the “corridors with bosses” style of dungeon. Still, once you get big enough to go back and solo some of those old labyrinths, it can be so much fun to go find out where all those mysterious dark hallways led to.

I’m sorry. I tried. I really tried to not let the past decade of news influence my reaction to the Siege of Orgrimmar, but some thoughts once thought cannot be unthought.

And a side note to all world leaders of all nations and political stripes: if the video game king of a made-up kingdom filled with talking pandas riding around on dragons has a better rationale for his foreign policy than you do, you are doing something wrong.

Well, there you go. That’s this week’s AFR, for what it’s worth. Next week I promise to be more silly and less angry. I hope you’re all enjoying 5.4!
